The Yamaha Xeno YBL-822G is a dependent double-rotor instrument that refines Yamaha’s earlier YBL-622 model. Like this predecessor, it was developed with assistance from Douglas Yeo, long-serving bass trombonist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra between 1985 and 2012.
It incorporates many small technical improvements that have far-reaching results. Crucially, it has a detachable second valve assembly that can easily be removed to convert it to a single-rotor B-flat/F instrument.

Along with a larger bore and bell diameter, bass trombones are often equipped with a second rotor to extend their low register. There are two double-rotor systems: ‘independent’ and ‘dependent’. An independent system has both rotors sitting side-by-side (or ‘inline’) on the neck-pipe, where they can function alone or in tandem. Dependent models locate the second rotor on the F attachment rather than the neck-pipe, hence the alternative descriptors ‘stacked’ or ‘offset’. In this configuration, use of the second rotor depends on the first rotor being simultaneously engaged.
